The STEM program has formed unique partnerships with professionals such as National Jewish Hospital in Denver, American Institute Mathematics in Palo Alto, California, and UCAR in Boulder. These fine organizations and others are willing to partner with and provide seniors in the program with invaluable mentorships involving real world, cutting edge research.

Our small school creates an environment where teachers and counselors get to know you personally and help you make this a gratifying and successful experience. The partnerships formed with staff, students, parents, businesses and research institutions help to find you a mentorship placement that fits well with your interests and career goals. Additionally, your college and scholarship applications are enhanced by your mentorship experience.
